Help Me Identify this Mystery Takara Doll!

A while back I (more or less literally) stumbled across a box of discarded dolls outside a neighbor's house. There was a childish handwritten sign on the box saying FREE, so I scooped 'em up and brought 'em home.

Among the dolls - a bunch of Bratz, a first-wave Clawdeen, and an odd assortment of Barbies - there was an adorable little lady with only "Takara" and "Made in China" on her back.

As of yet I've only seen a photo of this doll on one site. I've looked at photos of Jenny and Licca and she doesn't resemble them, mostly because of her distinctly American eyes.

Can you tell me who this is? She's beautiful and I need to know her name.

Welcome to the board, I run Dolfielittles.com, and I found a pic of my girl in her box. I still don't know which FLCL she is exactly but it's a start.

Welcome to the board! Her name is Haruhara Haruko. She's a licensed anime doll from the show FLCL (Fooly Cooly). She's technically a Jenny doll (she was made by Takara Tomy), but they were released under the "Tokyo Posse" line (Only her and the other FLCL doll Samejima Mamimi were ever released under this name). I've never seen her with eyeshadow, though.

...I think that she shares a head-mold with one of Jenny's friends, but I can't remember her name now. Greyhaunt had mentioned it somewhere... I can't seem to find the post now, though.

We're big fans of the show, so we hunted down both the girls and ended up putting their heads on Obitsu bodies. She matches Obitsu white skin tone best.
